[OE-core] [PATCH] elfutils: remove Elfutils-Exception and include GPLv2 for shared libraries

Wed May 15 10:53:44 UTC 2019

Can we restore meta/files/common-licenses/Elfutils-Exception in oe-core to
be used by meta-gplv2 version:

recipes-devtools/elfutils/elfutils_0.148.bb:LICENSE = "(GPL-2+ &
Elfutils-Exception)"
causing:
do_rootfs: The license listed Elfutils-Exception was not in the licenses
collected for recipe elfutils

or should I send patch for meta-gplv2 to restore it there together with
another LICENSE_PATH += "${LAYERDIR}/licenses"?
